Quarterback Joe Cahill and Thaddeus Shockley connected on touchdown passes of 30 and 25 yards. The first TD pass was set up by a fumble recovery by Troy Maull at Seaford's 21. Kyle Mansfield added Cape's other touchdown on a 57-yard run on the Vikings' second play of the game. Cape Henlopen 14, Archmere 0
The Vikings, ranked sixth in the state, opened their 2000 season with the kind of stingy defense they have become known for under head coach Brian Donahue. While Archmere quarterback Kevin Hannan had success throwing the ball, the Auks couldn't find a way to score. The Vikings, meanwhile, scored all of the points they'd need in the first half. Tykee Perry, who led Cape with 109 yards rushing on 19 carries, scored on a 1-yard touchdown run on fourth down for a 7-0 first quarter lead. Thaddeus Shockley made it 14-0 with a 25-yard gallop into the end zone. Cape compiled 293 total yards including an 11-play, 84-yard drive that Perry capped with his TD run. |
